Some friends pat your head and bake you cookies after a bad breakup. Some stage interventions and slap your hand when you’ve had too many cookies. Some are just kind enough to tell you when you have some cookie stuck in your teeth.

But most do not, no matter how loyal they may be, sew you hyper-cool, hand-cut clothes.

Then again, most friends are not J.P. designer Christopher Sheppard, who started his label Those Are Mine by silk-screening tees for friends. It didn’t take long before people started demanding so many that his creations snowballed into a collection.

The resulting line (for men and women) centers on hand-dyed and printed graphics, with plenty of batiking and embroidery for good measure. This spring, he’s kicking out one-of-a-kind distressed tees and wrap dresses in pastels, light florals, and nature-based patterns. After making each, he washes it in an enzyme bath that eats away at the cotton, leaving you swaddled in cloth that’s as soft as baby’s blanket.

As only a true friend would do.

Those Are Mine, available at Stel’s, 334 Newbury Street, between Massachusetts Avenue and Hereford Street, Back Bay (617-262-3348).
